Rare Napoleonic Straw Marquetry Box
About the Item
This cylinder box is an exceptionally fine example of straw marquetry, and a rare survivor of the craft, which involves the cutting, coloring, and mounting of split straws to form decorative patterns. The craft flourished in what would have been the otherwise idle hands of French prisoners held by the English during the Napoleonic wars. Our box features a rose, rosebud, and pansy bound with a ribbon on the lid, vegetal motifs in panels on the side, and an abstract star on the base. The interior is lined with blue and rose marbleized papers.
